I am so excited! Kits2Remember now has some sturdy acylic shapes, alphas, numbers and more to create all sorts of albums, page elements, ornaments and home decor items. Take a look: www.kits2remember.com.

The Red Bee in Tustin had their Holiday Open House and Gallery tonight to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. Scrappy Nan and I had both donated to each enter one of our projects in the gallery, to be put on display and voted on by store patrons. Nan and I tied for first place in the Altered Item category! If you guys know us at all, you will know whose project is whose ... and remember I am not a big fan of fluffy, glitzy, girly things! :) We each got a certificate for Bee Bucks to spend at the store ... plus bragging rights. LOL! Plus, scrap celebrities had donated their works of art to be placed up for a silent auction. I bid on the autographed mini book from Tim Holtz and won! I gave it to DH Rodney since he is such a big fan of the man's work. I figured we can out some scrappy photos of us in it, such as Rodney using a pocket knife to work on his Scrap Expo class layout - ha!

I am so excited! I am one step closer to joining the Daisy D's design team! I received an email today saying that I was a finalist for their design team call and to send my top three layouts/projects to them via email. I wasn't sure how fast they needed them, so I sent them right away. Here is what I sent ... I could only send three ... I hope I sent ones that would show my versatility and creativity!

I found it odd that completely unrelated people would come to the same conclusion on multiple occasions over the course of a decade. The word choice was not meant as a compliment and I still have no idea why. In my opinion, tenacity is a delightful thing to have (see the definition above) and I am happy to have it. So, to conclude this correspondence, I sign off with:
